Hey Fellow Frackle Lovers'

We all know that on The Muppet Show Boppity never really had a main puppeteer. We would always be preformed by Jim Henson, Frank Oz or Richard Hunt. There were also little times were he was preformed by Dave Goelz (in the Ruth Buzzie episode) and once by Jerry Nelson (in the Edger Bergan episode).

If Boppity did have a main puppeteer who would you have liked to see preform him on The Muppet Show?

Jim Henson

Frank Oz

Jerry Nelson

Richard Hunt

Dave Goelz

Steve Whitmire

Actually, Steve Whitmire did perform Boppity in The Muppet Christmas Carol.

Frank Oz also played Boppity in the Cleo Laine episode too.
